We are a small family with a big welcome . My husband brings the carribean flair and I'm a Philly Girl all the way. We are mature enough and young enough to appreciate the diverse culture that our city has to offer. We have a queen room available that can accommodate 1 or 2 persons and single room for which can only accommodate 1. Outside of the private sleeping areas , we welcome you to share and enjoy our home as our guest.
This includes Kitchen , 1 1/2 baths with a stand alone shower, front and back patio areas and sunroom. We will provide a lite breakfast bar of coffee, tea, juice , fruits and pastries . We can also assist with bag lunches , resturant suggestions and other meals upon request. Although other meals are not included, any meal I prepare for my family you are welcome to enjoy with us at no additional cost.
Our home is in the Fernrock / Oaklane area, with public trans to center city just outside the door , however I can provide drop offs or pickups to the train stations or airport if traffic and time will allow. If day trips are a part of your plans, New York City is just a short 2 hr ride away. Think Broadway , Atlantic City and Washington DC. All a travelers dream.
Additional Info
I can also assist with some transport needs If time permits you to visit other areas of interest outside of the convention area. There are many wonderful restaurants in Philly but if you like a home cooked meal, that can also be arranged. If your driving to our city, parking is free and plentiful while you're a guest at my home. Now all that's left to say is " Welcome to Philadelphia ".

About the Area
We are located near the far north end of North Broad St. There are many transit options within a short walking distance including the Fernrock Broad Street Sub station just a 10 mins walk. Fernrock station is one of the few transit stops that will get you downtown, the stadium area and the trains to New Jersey, New York and DC. So getting downtown center city is a quick hop / 15 min subway ride away. I will try to be of some assistance during your stay. Actually it will be my pleasure , our city has much to be proud of and even more to enjoy.
I love Philadelphia, it's rich with history, with culture and with people. Try to see as much as you can while you're here. With that being said, I say
" welcome to Philadelphia ".

Donna and her husband Harris are the perfect hosts! They made me feel welcome from the minute I stepped off the plane to the minute I left. A truly hospitable and generous couple. My bedroom was welcoming, clean and relaxing. Privacy given when desired and help given when needed. Excellent stay!
